I want to call some of my functions which are asynchronous to be called from within my ejs files.
Like I have this functions set as my app.locals.someFunction
async someFunction(param){
let data = await someAsyncStuff();
// & other things
return data;
}
and I want to use it inside ejs file as below:
<%
let data = await someFunction()
for(let x of data){%>
<li><%=x%></li>
<%}%>
This is possible with ejs if {async:true} is passed as an option. But where exactly should I pass this when my view engine setup is like the following?
//view engine setup
app.engine ('.html', ejs.renderFile);
app.set ('view engine', 'html');

instead res.render()
const ejs = require('ejs');
const html = await ejs.renderFile(view, data, {async: true});
res.send(html);
every include with await
<body>
<%- await include(pageView);%>
</body>
async now fine
<%
let data = await collection.find().toArray();
for(let x of data){%>
<li><%=x%></li>
<%}%>
